Nahki Wells is using every last moment he can to leave a lasting legacy at Bristol City with the Bermudian in the final year of his contract at Ashton Gate but delivering the performances that show precisely why he was a marquee signing for the club back in 2020.
Wells’ journey at City has not been a traditional, or even simple one. A £4.2m arrival from Burnley in the January transfer window who was supposed to be the missing piece in Lee Johnson’s play-off puzzle, the loss of key midfielder Josh Brownhill in the other direction and the pandemic conspired against him fulfilling that role.
In his second season at the club, Wells finished as top scorer under Dean Holden and then Nigel Pearson with 10 goals but also found himself frequently operating almost as a left-winger, as opposed to his preferential central role.
